Flip flops are the craze for summer but how about buying 137 pairs in one shopping trip!!! Nuts, I know. It started when my mother in law called and asked "What '
cha do'in Saturday morning?" When I told her I was free she said, "
Ok, great! Wanna go shopping with me?" I of course, agreed! Just moments later I learn that shopping consisted of being at Old Navy for their $1 Flip Flop sale at 6am to buy 100 pairs for my sister in laws outdoor wedding this summer. (Oh MY!!! That's early for a girl that lives the night shift!) So, I did my research, found out the details, and masterminded a plan or action. (There was a 5 pair per person per
purchase limit. So, we had to buy 5 pairs at a time then go back to the end of the line to purchase 5 more.) We met at Old Navy at 5:45am, doors opened at 7am. As we waited in line the South Bend Tribune interviewed us, took pictures, and interview others as well. 7am rolls around and our plan of action begins. I grabbed five pairs of flops and made my way to the register. My mother in law loaded up a shopping cart with a variety of sizes and colors for men, women, and kids, Grandma manned the shopping cart, and my Aunt Pam was the "bag lady." She would take the purchased flops to the car. Once the cart was full of flip flops my mother in law joined me in the buying process. We were successful in our mission. We were able to get 100 pairs of flip flops for the wedding and we were each able to get a few pair for our selves. = ) It was a crazy way to start the morning but it was a lot of fun.
